summary

This commentary on the Hagadah was originally published as part of a larger work in Venice, 1583. Excerpts were later published together with other commentaries in the Amsterdam, 1712 Hagadah. This edition is thus the first publication of the full commentary along with the text of the Hagadah. R. Eliezer Aschkenazi (1513-1586) held influential positions in widely scattered Jewish communites from Egypt, Cyprus and Italy to the major centers of Poland.
